the leading events In the notable career OF
Marie Antoinette, delighted the audience.
The first represented the French court of
Louis XVI In all Its dazzling splendor. The
'Jacobin" scene and the military Drill of

olutionary times, while the death Of little
Louis Master Bentley formed sublime
ending to this exquisite series Of historic
pictures. The Blessed Virginn was
Represented by Miss b. Doran. Miss Helen
Maloney sustained the role Of Marie Antoi-
